Known simply as the The Cav by those who frequent it, this Polish restaurant and bar has served the North Hammond neighborhood and Polish community for generations. Wally Sr. opened the Cavalier Inn in 1949. The traditional continues through Mary Kasprzycki and their son, Wally Jr. It thrives not only because of the consistently wonderful Polish food, but also because of the welcoming atmosphere instituted by Wally and Mary, and carried on dutifully by their son.
